Iwate is a land where both "food to eat" and "tools to use" are abundant, including Nanbu ironware, lacquerware, beef, and dairy products. From a Made in Japan-first perspective, you can build a kitchen you can cherish for a long time by combining cooking tools like iron frying pans, teapots, and pots with local ingredients and processed foods. On this page, we introduce craftsmanship backed by the blessings of Iwate's soil, mountains, and rivers.
Passed down primarily in Morioka and Oshu, Nanbu ironware is known worldwide as cooking tools to use for a long time due to its high heat retention and durability. We will introduce items created with designs suitable for modern lifestyles, such as teapots, iron kettles, frying pans, and grill pans, workshop by workshop.
Beef such as Maesawa beef and Tankaku beef, dairy products like yogurt and cheese, and processed foods born from inland livestock and dairy farming are also the charm of Iwate. We will feature products that are easy to choose for daily dining or gifts, conveying the thoughts of the origin and creators.
We will also introduce tableware born from Iwate's wood and lacquer culture, such as lacquer bowls and trays, and wooden plates and cutlery. We propose ways to enjoy an entire setup of tools born in Iwate, from the kitchen to the dining table, by combining them with Nanbu ironware.
